Chapter 18
Of course, I wouldn’t comply.
My voice came out cold. “I don’t think I have done anything wrong, though.”
At my words, Steven became agitated. I ignored him and turned back into my bedroom.
“Annalise!” Jessica suddenly piped up.
I turned my head around to look at her. Indeed, she was beautiful. She looked stunning even with light makeup and a simple hairdo.
For some reason, she needed to tell me, “I only prepared breakfast for four… I’m sorry. I was so used to preparing breakfast for them at my house that I forgot I’m not home now…”
She spoke with lowered eyes, teary and heart–wrenching.
“You did nothing wrong!” Steven couldn’t bear watching Jessica cry. “Don’t apologize to her.”
Her beady tears fell, and she said pitifully, “But Annalise dislikes me. She might actually resent me if I don’t get her forgiveness. She took my room last night, and now…”
She glanced at me amid her words, blatantly insinuating that I was targeting her.
I took a mental note of everything I saw now. Once I exposed all her shameful deeds, I would stand before her again, tall and upright.
I hoped she could maintain her lying, manipulative, and evil antics by then. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for her.
Steven was convinced. “Look at you, Annalise. Why can’t you be as kind as Jessica? She did nothing and was willing to compromise and apologize to you.
“And what did you do? You took her room last night and frightened her, yet you don’t feel an ounce of remorse.”
I arrived at a breakfast shop and ordered some sandwiches. After taking my seat, I fished out my spy brooch camera and recorder pen from my pocket.
